Tai-Tais ...
are Tai-Tais ... the rest are just housewives, mothers, "yellow-faced ladies" ...
are into competitive shopping to see who have the newest, biggest, most exclusive, most expensive bags, shoes, ...
are ardent fans of Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Dior, ...
love fur, lace and leather?!
form cliques (membership to groups by introduction or connection only)
frequent nail, hair, massage and beauty parlours ... to while away time, (or loneliness?)
have wealthy hubbies or hubbies with certain social status (a must)
have well-groomed children (or at least they try)
are often members of Parent Associations in their children's schools
have tea and brunches with other tai-tais
(those who work-out) have young, cute male personal trainers ... and are all dressed-to-kill in the gym!
(those who don't work-out) have young, cute god-sons that they keep for .... (use your imagination)
is a term we use, much like 'Yuppies', 'Hippies', 'Metrosexuals', etc., to describe this unique and interesting social group of homo-sapiens!

A lady of leisure. A woman with too much time on her hands! While her husband is out working, she wiles away the hours attempting to keep busy with shopping, short courses and the gym! Generally succeeding!

A wonderful woman with a servant heart. Giving graciously to others beyond their ability to accept, yet in a way that is humble and true which causes them to be gracious in return. A woman deserving of rubies and diamonds, yet content with love and affection.
